Sometime back, with the help of Chris Bailey, retired curator at the American Watch & Clock Museum in Bristol, CT, I found that John Bliss, his wife Abby, and sons John Jr. and Samuel were interred at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn New York. I recently searched using Green-Wood’s burial inquiry system and found that fifteen members of the family are buried there, twelve with the surname Bliss. They are buried in plot 9213, sec. 7.

The last two from email from Jane Cuccurullo on behalf of The Green-Wood Cemetery 4/3/2012.

Geo. P. Engelhardt is very interesting in his own right. Born in Germany in 1871, he emigrated to America in 1889. He began working at the Brooklyn Museum in 1901, and achieved distinction as a curator of Natural History before he retired in 1930.
